The People’s Honours

The time has come to restore the essence of unity within our community

Any individual can be nominated for The British Citizen Award BCA or The British Citizen Youth Award BCyA (18 and under) provided that they have made a meaningful impact on their community and those around them. Our nominees represent the rich diversity of the UK, hailing from all walks of life and cultural backgrounds. What unites them is their dedication to enhancing the lives of others. Nominations come at no cost, and successful candidates will be warmly welcomed to a special presentation day at the historic Palace of Westminster in London. Recipients of the BCA Medal are encouraged to proudly use the post nominal BCA, allowing them to celebrate and share their achievement for years to come. It is important to note that individuals recognised with a KBE OBE or MBE cannot be considered for a BCA, while those with a BME or King’s Award are eligible. Furthermore, receiving a BCA does not exempt individuals from the King’s Honours system.
